\subsection*{Driving Passions: Getting Places and Doing Things}

\quot{``I'm gonna do it. Just you wait and see.''}

\desc{While most things in the World of Darkness are soul destroying and oppressive affairs, it is not to be ignored that there are indeed things that motivate people to \emph{accomplish} things. And while even that silver lining must be tempered with its own dark cloud -- that indeed many people in the world are motivated to accomplish things that are despicable -- it remains a source of beauty, industry, and human achievement. Or supernatural inhuman achievement as the case may be. These motivations represent the Muse in all of us, and in aWoD are described as a character's \emph{Driving Passion}.}

Accomplishing things governed by the character's Driving Passion means more to the character than other things. And in the grand tradition of genre fiction, meaningful accomplishments are karmically rewarded. In aWoD, achievement in accordance with a character's Driving Passion allows them to refresh an Edge even if it is not the end of the Story. Striving to accomplish a character's Driving Passion can bring out their very best. When a character is apparently near to accomplishing something major with regards to their Driving Passion and they are faced with difficulty they may -- once per story -- temporarily increase one of their Physical, Mental, or Social attributes (of their choice) for the duration of the scene. Sometimes it can be unwise to draw upon this inner awesomeness even when it is available, because it can only be used once per Story.
